Hong Kong Export Growth Slows
In Tandem With U.S. Demand

HONG KONG -- Hong Kong's export growth moderated in April on slower growth in re-exports from China as growth of U.S. demand for Chinese-made goods wanes.

The Census and Statistics Department Friday said the value of Hong Kong's total exports in April rose 9.4% from the year-earlier month to HK$188.8 billion (US$24.3 billion), following a 14.5% year-to-year rise in March and a 20.5% increase in February.
